Last year it was Manchester United who looked to be leading the chase for his services, only for the 27-year-old to end up signing a one-year contact extension with Atletico, tying him to the club until 2022.

Since joining from Real Sociedad for £24m in 2014, Griezmann has scored 112 goals in all competitions and finished each season as the club's top scorer.

He also helped Atletico reach the 2016 Champions League final and scored twice as they beat Marseille 3-0 in last month's Europa League final.

Griezmann’s France take on Australia in Kazan this weekend before their other Group C ties against Peru and Denmark.
